Thus, considering the key role of students in promoting the quality of physical and mental health of society, and also due to the lack of knowledge on the type of relationship between social networking addiction and academic performance of the students of medical sciences, the present study was designed and implemented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of social media among the students of medical sciences and their behaviour changes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students. Stratified random sampling was used. The study tools included personal information form and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS-18.0. Results: Most of the students are using social media for studies and to talk with their friends and whenever they feel alone. Conclusion: Over all the social media use age was moderate. Overall, social media appeared to be very useful tool for students’ community as they use them to improve their studies and carrier development.

Background:Basic Life Support (BLS) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies like heart attacks, drowning and accidents. BLS is the initial step of prompt recognition and to provide emergency support of ventilation and circulatory in case of respiratory or cardiac arrest. The Traffic Police who would be discharging his duty nearby the accident can help much in saving the lives of victims of RTA with his knowledge of BLS. In India the basic techniques of BLS are not offered to Traffic Police. Hence training the Traffic Constables with BLS techniques will result in improvement in survival rates of victims of RTA. Objective:To assess the knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) among traffic constables working in Southern Chennai. Methods:An interventional study design was used. Traffic constables who are working in Greater Chennai were included in the study. A semi structured questionnaire will be used to assess the knowledge on BLS among traffic constables. Then post intervention will be given based on the knowledge they gained. Result:In our sample, most of the traffic policemen were in the age group of 31- 40 years (47.1%) and other 36.5 % of traffic policemen were in the age group of 41-50 years of age. Almost of the participants are married. Among the participants, more than 10 years of experienced people have the adequate knowledge. Remaining them need more information regarding Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Among the participant, 60% of the traffic policemen were have adequate knowledge. Conclusion:BLS is an integral part of training for first aid. The present study revealed the comprehension and familiarity of the traffic policemen with BLS and attitude towards BLS training.The results indicate that there is sufficient overall awareness of BLS training among traffic police officers and that significant improvements are needed to save lives.
Background: Zoonotic diseases are the infectious disease which is transmitted to people and vice versa. It is caused by all sorts of pathogens, including bacteria, rodents, fungi, viruses and prions. And though known for hundreds of years, the public health effect has risen in recent decades as a result of the effective combination of vaccination and efficient care to minimize the spread of human infectious diseases and the development of new zoonotic diseases. Objectives: To systematically review and describe the causes of infections. Methods: We searched Google search engine, Pubmed and other databases on the internet for the articles on topics related to infectious disease due to animals and zoonotic diseases. We searched reference lists of all primary and review articles based on the key words “zoonotic diseases, animals, infectious disease, spill over, pandemic etc.,” Data regarding zoonotic diseases was collected, summarized and analysed. Results: This review analyse what are all the possible ways the animals causing the infectious disease to the people and how to prevent from the infection. Conclusion: By strict use of personal protection and some precautious methods are used to prevent the transmission of infection. The advantages of pets far outweigh their fear of zoonotic infections cannot be absolutely prevented by people with animals. It is also their responsibility to provide the required training to provide the healthy use of animals and reduce the risk of zoonotic disease transmission for veterinarians, physicians and public health staff. Keywords: Animals, Infectious disease, Transmission, People , Pets, Personal protection.
